Drew Barrymore is eyeing a move into the daytime talk show arena. The actress, who recently wrapped three seasons of the Netflix comedy Santa Clarita Diet, is shooting a pilot this week in New York for CBS Television Distribution. (Variety)
The show would likely be under consideration for the 2020-21 season if it moves forward. Barrymore also will be an executive producer on the show. (THR / Live Feed)
Barrymore long had been interested in headlining a daytime talker. She started conversations with Warner Bros. in 2016 for a syndicated talk show, but the project never moved forward. (Deadline)
Should the show move forward, it would join a line-up of new and upcoming daytime talk shows, which includes projects hosted by Kelly Clarkson, Meredith Vieira, Tamron Hall and Jerry Springer. (TheWrap)
